WE BELONG TOGETHER

Marcus could not take his eyes off Cynthia....a kind of jealousy preyed his soul as he watched Richard and Cynthia working ..standing close to each other........he walked up to them ''..Richard.......i have selected you and Rita to head the delegation to Thailand.......we have the best core team from our Thailand counterparts......you leave early tomorrow morning,,,,,..'' Marcus announced...as the other staff cheered....."Miss Mathews will lead our team from head office,,,,.....Marcus continued.....
Richard was excited......'.......'' Cyn......i want to talk to you...after i get back from Thailand...........''sensing his earnestness.......Cynthia was damn sure she had found the person who has been sending her the Valentine cards...........she liked Richard.........whom she had known for so many years.........
Cynthia removed her shoes and stretched it out on the other chair beside hers and touched her stiff neck........she felt feverish.......working round the clock......she closed her eyes and tried to relax......her head was pounding.............she liked the peace and quiet of the office,,,,,the air conditoning was in full swing.......she sneezed .......her eyes were heavy...........then she blacked out.....and when she opened her eyes again she was lying on the sofa with a warm blanked on her..........she was a little dazed as how she ended up lying down....as she remembered sitting on her chair........with her feet up
'' ah Miss Mathew....you are awake......Marcus Shane was hovering above her.. .his head close to her face....'''he reached out ..as Cynthia raised her hand......'' Oh For heavens''s sake woman....... i was just going to adjust the pillow on your head......relax......you fainted just as i was walking into your office............the Dr advised you to rest for a couple of days..........i will take care of everthing....
Cynthia put her bare feet on to the carpeted floor...and when she stook up.. her head began to spin ..and Marcus caught her from falling''
i just told you to relax.."......where do you think you are going.....Marcus stood in front still holding her.....'
I want hot coffee."' cynthia demanded.......
''No coffee..... a glass of milk is on the way...it will help you go to sleep...............Marcus gently pushed Cynthia back on to the sofa..and stood by the table watching her........under he tough surface there was a very soft woman........in her........he just wanted to hold her and tell she was safe near him........''
the pantry maid ......came in with a glass of warm milk and cheese sandwiches.........
''i want you,,to eat all the sandwiches a and drink the milk....'' ordered Marcus Shane...............Cynthia sulked and pulled on a long face..and pushed the tray away from her''
'' i said .....eat.....''.......he roared...
'' No ! i want to go home...'' Cynthia was adamant......she did not want to be in the same room with Marcus.......he was a tease and laughed at all her efforts..
''you need to be strong........Miss Cynthia..........eat or i will make you
'' make me eat.........what the hell"' Cynthia began to loose her cool.........how dare he....''
you cannot force me to do your bidding ...now move away from my path...'' she demanded ..if i don't eat what will you do....?
.
throw me over your knees and spank my bottom..........'''..Cynthia felt her blood rushing through her veins
'' no...why would i do that.....'' drawled Marcus......lazily.....eyes smouldering.'' i would kiss you senseless till you obey me'' Marcus said and took one step forward''
Cynthia backed away quickly and took the tray of sandwiches and ate.....quietly..not daring to look up.............he was probaly gloating at her misfortune,..and laughing at her.............he took the glass of warm milk and gave it to her''
this she did not expect.......she silently drank the glass of milk......his hand reached out with a soft tissue and wiped away the milk sticking to her left jaw.
Cynthia froze at the slightest touch of his finger on her skin........she could not move......
'' is she ok Marcus......."' her guardian and boss Brian Smith appeared at the door.....''
'' she has eaten ...... ..but still needs complete rest......'' Marcus Shane bullied her......Cynthia thought'''
'' can you see to it that she gets home safely....'' Brian Shane requested..............''dear girl....you are not fit to drive.......he added....when Cynthia gave her guardian a murderous look.....'' good night...........Brian smith said and left the office''
Cynthia did not utter another word as she follwed Marcus shane to his car..........There was only silence in the car ...he drove smoothly through heavy traffic.....and within 20 minutes arrived at her resindence at the Peacock apartments.......at Bukit Bintang........
''i can go up......thank you.........Cynthia said and rumaged in her bag for her keys.....the bag fell from her hands...Marcus picked up her bag and took out a bunch of keys...and both took the lift to the third floor............he inserted the key and pushed open the door to her aparment.........then took his mobile phone..and called Brian Smith''' Miss Mathew is safe in her apartment..
'' sleep well Miss Mathews..........and use a few salt lamps............it will help you relax............."
Marcus shane turned .and left her apartment,.......leaving Cynthia puzzled.....did she detect a tinge of concern on his face.....'
"'You are overacting Cynthia..." get a grip of yourself..........she said loudly and shed her clothes and stood under a warm shower....
